I added the yum.conf listed elswhere on the Forums, and am getting the following error message when I try
#yum update


[root@localhost root]# yum update

I was getting another error message wiht the original yum.conf and thought this might help.

Thank you -

MOSTLY resloved...:)

I commented out a few of the offending servers in yum.conf and seem to be on the way now. Besides a few missing packages to solve dependencies..perhaps some of the mirrors are a bit out of sync....

Besides the yum/up2date speeds/issues I am really enjoying FC2 test 1.90..

thanks-

Try limiting the number of repositories to a few that are local to you and have good access, I think you will have better luck. You might also think about trying the new core 2 test 2. It really seems nice to me.
